Mr.. D. l. Wilcoxson, of Horse Cave, Ky
says he was, for many years, badly afflicted
with Phthisic, also Diabetes; the pains were
almost uncomfortable and would sometimes
almost throw him into commissions. He
tried Electric bitters and got relief from the
first bottle and after taking six bottles, was
entirely cured, and had gained in flesh eigh.
teen pounds. Says he positively believes he
would have died, had it not been for the re.
lief afforded by Electric Bitters. Sold al

A Hugsing Bee Busted.

A church sociable and hugging bee held
in Nebraska broke up in row. The with
cred remnant of a man, aching for smack
at sweet sixteen, blew in fifteen cents and
was blindfolded for a game. The manager
ran his wife against him and the squeeze he
gave her made her back ache. When the
bandsge was removed and he discovered the
swindle he howled like mad man, smote
the manager in the jaw, and choked the
treasurer until he refunded.

THE PRESIDENTIAL TRIP.

When the presidential party reached
Chicago an immense throng of people had
gathered TO welcome the President and
Mrs Cleveland TO the hospitalities of the
great city on the lakes. The enthusiasm
of the people was unbounded and such
crowds, such bright faces in similar mum.

gathered within few blocks Of the station.
An appropriate address of welcoms by the
Mayor and response by the President we're
delivered. At Milwaukee the President's
proverbial good luck followed him, as the
day was bright and beautiful, though the
night previous had been very unpromis-
ing. Here,as at other places, large throngs
of people were out to meet the President,
and II Is said that between the surging OF
the immense crowds and the movement of
the different organizations into their as
signed places in the parade, the city was
afforded a spectacle never equaled In its
history. At Madison the reception was
equally hearty and joyous. AT St. Paul,
we are told that the crowd was unparalIell-

INDIA wHRAT.

Hon. b. F. Bonham, formerly Of Salem,
but now Consul General for the United
States to Calcutta, in India, has made his
report to the stase departments At Washing
ton, In which, among other thlngs,he says
that during the fiscal year ended March
81, 1856, the area devoted to wheat was
about az,sooooo acres, and the total yield
aSo,oooooo bushels, AS compared with
the wheat OF the Pacific Coast,th wheat Is
inferior,b when exported to Europe Il Is
mixed and ground with wheat OF supe-
rlor quality, by which process a fair mark.
etahle grade of flour Is obtained. The mode
of cultivation In the main Is the same as Il
was centuries ago, and there seems to be
great difficulty In inducing farmers TO In.
vest In modern agricultural implements
yet, with all their simple and primitive
methods, the Indian can, In the opinion OF
the Consul General, successfully compete
with those of the United States In the pro.
duction Of wheat This Is due 70 the fact
that the Indian farmers outfit represents a
capital Of not. more than $40 or $4s, and
the hired help works, feeds and clothes
himself on about $a.so per month, The
expectation OF wheat from British India
has increased from 100000 centals in
1868 to sI,oooooo centals in 1886 MIR.
Bonham says that some of his predecessors
have claimed that the United States have
nothing to fear from India as competitor
in wheat. lie does not concur In this view,
but believes that to-day India is second
only to the United States in wheat grow
ing, lie says wheat growing In India Is
yet in its infancy and developments are
being rapidly made upon means Of trans
portation to the sea board. lie fears that
in these constantly growing and improved
facilities for transportation, the United
States will find India formidable compe
titor Thus more and more does the fac
impress itself upon us that while the farm
or is taxed to benefit every manufacturing
industry Ia the land, he Is left the helpless
victim of competition with the chsapes
laborers Of the world. This 10 one Of th'
beauties of tariff protection.

A GOOD SHOWING.

The County Court last week made the
following tax levy for the current year.
For the State University ,one.tenth of one
mill For State militia, two-tenths of one
mill For public schools,ive mills For
State x,three mills. For county purpos-
es,three and seventeenth mills. This makes
a total levy OF II mills, being the lowest
in the history of the county. This Is re-
markably good showing and speaks well
for democratic county. No county in
the state puts It's levy 50 low. Marion
county, that has been under Republican
rule for the last ~ years, has, We are In
formed,a large Indebtedness, and now puts
her tax levy at " mills, while Linn, that
has been under democratic rule for ~
years, has no indebtedness, but on the con.
trary a surplus of Ss7,soo on hands. We
may be excused for asking our republican
friends how they like democratic rule in
Linn county For county purposes Linn
levies three and seventeenth mills and
Marion eight and seventeenth mills.

"Whom the gods would destroy, they
first make mad" No more pointed and
forcibIe application Of this old saw has
ever come to our notice than the case Of
the warfare now opened upon Pres ident
Cleveland by the republican press from
one end Of the country to the other. For.
aker calls him 'dog," the Portland View
calls him "hOg" aud another Portland
organ calls him a monkey" and so on
from the New York TyibHHe down. These
brethren are mad, and no mistake, and
that the gods Of public opinion will destroy
the n,will hardly admit of doubt. These
brethren show by this concerted attack
by vitup srstion and mere abuse, that the
president isinvulnerable is as to all matters
of material interest to the people at large.
These attacks are making friends for the
president by the scores all over the coun-
try, though our brethren are too, too mad

State rights under the constitution of
the United States are the same ss they
we're before the war. The people, to be
secure in all their rights of constitutional
liberty, must recognize and admit this
truth. Justice Miller, Of the Supreme
Court bench of the United States,a repub-
liean,appointed by republican president,
sees plainly the necessity of the recognI-
ton of such truth, as Is clearly indicated
by the following taken from his oratien
delivered at the centennial celebration of
the constitution of the u. S. few weeks
ago at Philadelphia
at is not out of place to remark that
while the pendulum Of fpublic opinion has
swung with much force away from the
extreme point of state rights doctrine, there
may be danger of its reaching an extreme
point on the other side. In my opinion,
the just and equal observance of the rights
of the states and of the general govern
ment, as defined by the present constitu.
ton, Is as necessary to the permanent
prosperity of our country, as It has been
sor the one whose close we are now cele-
brating"
